to get started.

Hotel was very clean, restaurant/bar was delicious with an excellent free breakfast, staff were very friendly and helpful, location was perfect with only a 5 minute walk to the beach, and free beach towels and beach chairs down at the front desk. Overall a very nice hotel.

Centrally located, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. There was a bit of noise from the streets in the morning but overall we enjoyed our stay here. We booked the same hotel again after our return from Iguazu falls and they kindly kept our luggage. The staff were very friendly and the manager allowed us a late check out which was very helpful as we had a night flight and wanted to go to the beach in the morning. The breakfast served was very good with a good variety although the coffee was standard.

United Kingdom

Close to the metro and to the beach. Very good breakfast.

Ronald

United States of America

Extremely comfortable bed, excellent water pressure in shower, delicious breakfast, restaurant downstairs drew a good crowd during lunch and evening from outside of the hotel, great view of the lagoa & Christ statue from top floor terrace, near many good restaurants & shopping, a great book store "Livraraia da Travessa" and of course the best beach in Rio. Try "La Carioca" for great Peruvian ceviche just two blocks away, or "Venga" for Spanish tapas **must try the calamari**.

Fantastic hotel for those seeking a stylish stay just a few meters off the beach. We loved the restaurant on the ground level. Very new and trendy building. Roof top looking out to Christ the Redeemer and Lago with beautiful mountain views.

Richard

The breakfast was really tasty ( we love the juice selection ), the bed was good and the gym was good. The location of the hotel couldn't be better. In my opinion they could do something with the rooftop of the hotel.

“Was expenting a great stay due to location and photos, but we paid for Luxury and got Economy :(”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 4 nights
On checking in we were given our "Luxury Room". Unfortunately, there were no good views of the Lagoon or the beach - we just looked out onto a main road and building across from up we were put on the 3rd floor (they call the floor "Plus 1" for some reason and is apparently where all their "Luxury Rooms" are). The room was big, but it had a really old fashioned and tired looking wet room as an ensuite where the windows didn't properly shut. It was directly over the hotel bar/restaurant which was fairly loud as they had a DJ outside (due to a huge Flamengo football game that night). We'd just got off a long haul flight, so asked to be moved somewhere quieter, with a nicer view and with a better ensuite, but were told the hotel was fully booked (except for a much smaller room next door on the same floor, and slightly to the left of the bar). The ensuite was better, but you could still hear everything from outside on the busy street and room had a weird smell. We looked around in the area for an alternative hotel but nowhere was available (we think, because of the football game). We had no choice but to take the smaller room offered to us. However, the next day, we were then woken up at 6:30AM by a hammering sound. On looking out the window, the canopy which had been erected outside the hotel bar for the DJ was being dismantled by hotel staff. Talk about choosing a bad time to take it down!!! The Wi-Fi was HORRENDOUS!!! So much so that we couldn't order an Uber from the hotel lobby. The "terrace bar" on the roof with views over Rio was never open when we tried it. No-one in the hotel spoke great English (albeit, better than my Portuguese), so I couldn't properly complain or get my point across in person. Would NOT recommend!!!
The bed was comfortable, the housekeepers were good, and the porters were friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is also in a nice area and it feels safe.

The hotel claimed to have wifi, there was a wifi network but it took about an hour to get on the network and the speed was worse than dial up. In reality there was no wifi available. It doesn't work in the rooms or in the lobby and this was very disappointing because they advertise that they have wifi.

“Go to another hotel in Ipanema”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
The hotel does not correspond to the pictures! The main picture is supposed to be from a rooftop bar which does not exist anymore. It has no seaview whatsoever! The room itself was okayish kinda. We were told that our room was upgraded but it was not. The biggest problem was the AC, it was soo loud (the noise actually coming from the outside body) that it is impossible to sleep well. The bathroom was full of dust from the walls (maybe went through some maintenance) which was never cleaned during our stay. The maids never really cleaned well anything. The bathroom itself was rather small, you cant look at yourself in the mirror without being right next to the toilet. Douche cabin was rather old and filthy dirty. Fitness is without air conditioning which makes it impossible to train
We liked the breakfast and the bar downstairs, which has nothing to do with the hotel. The location of the hotel is not seaview but is surrounded by shops, bars and restos. Try to stay at a different hotel in this area
